transmission

I've got my first ever tear down and rebuild on a 2003 4.0l V6 4x4 automatic Ranger. I've done several 305, 350, and ls rebuilds and major repairs on other vehicles so I'm fairly confident in my ability to work on this transmission. However, since I am new to transmissions I'm having a hard time...

Hey folks, I got a 1997 Ford ranger XLT with a 3.0 motor the engine code on the VIN is a C and I was originally told that I could only swap the transmission with a another ranger that has the same letter for the motor which would be a C but now I'm finding out that 3.0 motors come with a V or a...

2010 Ranger, 2wd, automatic, regular cab My truck won't start unless I put it in park just right. To make sure it will start the next time, I have to move the shifter in a certain way along with pressing and releasing the brakes with proper timing. Otherwise, the electronics light up but the...

I have a 2000 Mazda B2500 4cyl 5 speed. When I’m driving at lower speeds/rpms for the gear I’m in there is a pretty noticeable knocking/rattling sound coming from what seems like the front of the trans/back of the motor. Also get the noise when coasting in gear, and it goes away when the clutch...

I've been looking through the tech docs, but there's not much info on the C3 transmissions. Does anyone know what options are available to me for a fairly easy swap? Can i swap in a c4 easily if i keep the c3 bell housing? If not, what all would it take? That may be the best as i want to do a V8...

I’ve been having some issues with my work truck, listed in the title. I believe it has the 4R44E or 4R55E transmission. The transmission was rebuilt in August 2023, and has been mostly trouble free since then. The internal speed sensor did go out at one point a few months back, so we had that...

Hello everyone, first post. I have been scouring the internet for days trying to figure out what is wrong with my ranger. it all started with my clutch bearing going out. I removed the transmission, replaced the bearing, and installed the transmission back into the truck. I have been bleeding...

Hey everyone, 1994 4.0 with auto tranny. I recently took it to the mechanic back in early December for a weird random idle, while in the process I had about 10-11mpg, so my mechanic diagnosed and found ATF all up in my vacuum system and found I believe what he said was the vacuum modulator. He...

This is my first post but I've read a lot on here. I've got a 91 ranger 2.3, 2 wheel drive, manual trans. It's been hard to shift in to 1st and reverse occasionally for a long time but multiple people told me it was normal. About a week ago I started my truck and attempted to go in to reverse...

I have a 1991 M50D R1 in need of a new slave and master cylinder, the replacement oem stuff kicked the bucket. Now the later gen masters 1993, 1995+ and slaves are a lot different than the early gen 1991,1992. QUESTION: What year clutch and slave for the M50d-r1 is the best design? SPECS: I...

Hello, Im here scratching my head trying to figure out which fluid my 2000 ford ranger 2wd takes. Online ive read that its Mercron V and its stated in the owners manual. But when i check to see if its compatible on advanced, Oriellys, Autozone and even Fords website they all say that the...

Hi all! I’ve got a 99 Ranger with the 3.0 automatic trans 4x4. I’m putting a new trans in and I was going to put a new neutral safety switch in when I did. The old switch is a 12 pin connector but all of the switches available are all 11 pin. Even the exact same part number as the one I pulled...

{i noticed for the prefix it wont let me pick between through for the year 2001 } i have a 2001 ford ranger 2.3 2wd with 175,000 miles the transmission is getting hard to shift when at a stop, when coming to a stop its hard to pull out of the gear to go into neutral, when trying to go from a...

I have a 22 ranger with the tremor package. It’s a great truck and I love it. Here recently though I’ve been having issues with my transmission not catching gears. The other day I was at a stop light after being on the highway and when I pressed the accelerator then it started decelerating. Then...

Bought an 1984 B2 with the TK4 transmission a few months ago and I've been at a standstill with the transmission for a while now. Initially it shifted fine, clutch felt alright, though I only drove it a few minutes before it started spawning all sorts of electrical/mechanical issues that left it...

Hi, I have a 1995 Mazda B2300 2.3L Lima /w a 5 speed Manual. Recently it been having issues with the Transmission i believe. It started when i was going to work and out of nowhere, the truck would jerk repeatedly as i would shift into gear (happened in 1st and 2nd gear at the time) so i pulled...

Howdy rangers. I'm doing the dreaded overdrive sprag replacement on my 2002 automagic 4.0 4x4. (It broke a week after purchase, no warranty. Fork me.) I've removed the exhaust (including the stupid y pipe and O2 sensors), drive shafts (front and back), transfer case, and I'm a few steps away...

My Ranger has run great for years, but recently developed a loud knock which seems to be coming from the transmission. I know it is not the clutch, as I already took it to a shop which said the noise was from the clutch and they replaced the clutch. But it did not help at all. The clutch was...

Hey all, thank you for your time with my post. I have an old 85 ranger that came equipped with a C5. Well the C5 is now trash and i have a low mile A4LD from an 86 bronco 2. If i try to put this transmission behind my 2.8l what challenges might I face? Anyone ever done this before? Thank you!

My 97’ ranger’s transmission mount crossmember bolts are stuck in place. The nuts came off, but the bolts are stuck in place. I’ve tried heating them up, beating them with a sledge hammer, and all sorts of other things. I just can’t get them free. Also tried cutting the bolt but I don’t want...
